Customers are saying

Customers find value in the engaging gameplay and impressive array of cars featured in Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Many appreciate the game's ease of use and realistic feel, along with the immersive open-world environment and good sound design. However, some feel the storyline is lacking and the controls could be improved. A few also noted the game's relatively low level of violence.

    This game is really fun! There aren't many XBox 360 games available anymore, so when we saw this in the center aisle bin we snapped it up! It's great for us (a family) because there isn't any super crazy violence or weaponry. Just fast cars running from the police. It's cool that you don't have to save up a bunch of money for different cars like in Rivals, you can simply swap out. All in all, this is a great car driving game!

    This game is a blast to play. The racing is challenging and riveting, but easy to pick up for beginners. The world is as beautiful as it is massive, and the many different races to complete, cars to collect, and secrets to unlock will keep you entertained for hours and hours on end.

    My son wants to play all the big boy games. I don't feel some of them are age appropriate. This game gives him the same setting as the GTA games without all the violence, bad language and all the things he doesn't need to hear at his age.

    I had this game a long time ago and was so hooked I had to stop playing because it was taking too much time away from my work. Bought this for the kids and now I can't stop playing with them. Love this game.

    Didn't realize it was a one player game, was just so excited because it looked like so much fun. It is a blast but ultimately would be so much more fun with more people.

    This game has intense cops that are hard to escape when maximize the heat. There are quite a bit of lack on flexibility in this game, like limited fix modification. I did not get any story line that was behind every wanted racers which made it less interesting. If they were to but the same effort like they did in "Most Wanted" Platinum game and customization, then it would have been a great game. This looks like a game rushed out to get short term gains.

    There are a lot of cars available which is good. But once you find a car, you are not allowed to customize it. Bummer. The handling of the cars is tedious and I didn't find any way to change it. Some of the visuals are really good. There isn't much of a story line. You race to earn points. More points will make you move up the Most Wanted list. The objective is to top the list and thereby become the Mast Wanted.

    Exhilarating experience

    As with all sandbox games the narrative is of your own making but this is even more true of Most Wanted. The side-effect is that it can feel aimless at times. If you desire structure, if you wanted a game to be meted out to you, you might find its instant freedom somewhat overwhelming. But Most Wanted is all about deviation and deviance. It’s the racing game for people who don’t tend to like racing games. You’re not punished for missing that apex or abandoning that nagging racing line. It’s undoubtedly one of the year’s most exhilarating experiences.

    This game is overall pretty good. Very multiplayer oriented with many posting of friends' challenges and rankings. The story is pretty lame. Not much going on with it just basic racing. Online is pretty fun but it mostly different challenges and not very many races.
